Obituary For James Alston

I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one. I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun; Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

Condolences to the Alston Family πŸ™

I would like to send my condolences to the Alston family. I have known the Alston family for many years. For many years I worked with Mr. Alston at Just Saved. Mr. Alston was a hard worker and nice man. Keeping your family in my prayers. Olivia Cooper and family

I saw Mr. Alston at the store one day. This was a long while back,I think he had not been long retrived. Anyway I was just geting to know him. He was talking to some guys and I think one might have said something about spending to much money. Mr Alston said "LOOK A HERE"!, I got a lot of problems,but money (ant) one of them.I all-ways played with him about that,and today I live by it.Thank You Mr Alston,Where ever you are.God help Your Family! J.R.Paint & Body.The Rudds. *I GOT A LOT OF PROBLEMS,BUT MONEY (ANT) ONE OF OVEM*****.

My Condolences goes out to Mrs. Alston and her children. Mr. Dickie has been in my life for so many years, so many days when walking to their store (Alston's on 1001)if Mr. Dickie was there I knew he would be acting up, making us laugh. Regardless where you saw him at he had that smile on his face. James and Janet your dad was hilarious. My heart goes out to each of you and May God Bless. Barbara Watson-Hargrove (Mr. Dickie called me that Watson girl)

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
